The other day, I was minding my own business, reading the latest issue of Yachting Magazine (a magazine featuring boats that most of us will never set foot on, much less own). They have a column on the "Cruising Yachtsman" and I noticed it was about Savannah, GA (USA). Since I have visited Savanna a few times myself, I settled down to read the article.
After the usual information on how the city was founded, how it is laid out in squares with little parks, the subject turned to the entertainment/tourist district on River Street which, as you might expect, is along the river. They often have fireworks, festivals, and concerts on river street and the park between the street and the river.
So I come to these lines describing the action in the park:
"......... visitors and locals listen to buskers blowing a mean saxophone, strumming a giddy banjo, or singing the blues. Some folks may spend time trying to detect crossdressers; others gaze at giant container ships gliding downriver, ........ "
Wait, did I read that right? Sure enough "Some folks may spend time trying to detect crossdressers !"
What am I missing here? In my times in Savannah and on River Street, I've never noticed a crossdresser. Am I blind? Is this area known for crossdressing and I somehow missed it? Is Savannah a big crossdressing city? Should I grab my bra and heels and head back down to Savannah?
What am I missing?
